 +
 +===DC motor===
 +simply connecting a dc motor to the spinning disk\\
 +by rotating the disk you convert the energy to analog input for MCU or whatever\\
 +problem with this approach it will not give enough output at slow speeds. so probably scratch that.
 +
 +===Stepper motor===
 +
 +same as with the DC motor, you connect the motor to the disks center, then hook the stepper winding A1/2,B1/2 to an MCU, you get a nice stepping encoder.
 +
 +following links are actually to use the sinusoidal wave of the stepper, a bit of a different approach\\
 +also a problem at low speeds.
